National Transport Survey 2018

Irish Wheelchair Association (IWA) is Ireland’s leading representative organisation and service providers for people with physical disabilities.

We advocate for the needs of people with physical disabilities and provide services and support to over 20,000 members in their homes and communities throughout Ireland every year. Everything we do is driven by IWA’s vision of an Ireland where people with disabilities can enjoy equal rights, choices and opportunities and live their lives independently. In this regard, we invite you take this important survey which should take approximately 5 minutes to complete.

Mobility is very important for people with disabilities. Access to transport is recognised as a vital component for people with disabilities to achieve full participation in the economic and social life of society.

Through our membership we are aware of the major difficulties experienced by people with disabilities in accessing public transport nationwide. This extensive survey will help IWA to gain a real picture of the current situation and the level of services provided by the Irish transport providers so that we can bring information and experiences to the government when lobbying for investment for improved services.
